Brexit chaos: New cabinet ministers appointed

It’s been another hectic day in Westminster - Amber Rudd has been appointed to be Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. It's a remarkable return to the political frontline, only eight months since her demise as Home Secretary over the Windrush controversy. Here is Michael Crick with all the twists and turns.

Oh good, Amber Rudd is back. A former banker with J P Morgan and a director of two offshore tax avoidance asset management firms in the Bahamas, which were never declared.

[clarksonbarry]

A lot of ministers are going to get their comeuppance when they next ask the people for their vote.

[GavinLawrence]

Is Theresa May purposefully trying to outdo how bad David Cameron was as PM?

[Jilguror]

This news story provided the spectrum of information that I wanted concisely and restrained political commentary. Well done, Channel 4.

[jurius]

Oh dear what a mess. Just leave without a deal since you already voted for it.

[nil_db]

Of course Rudd backs May's plan, she's a Remainer.

[evolassunglasses]

Our Metrolib political class NEVER got over losing the referendum to the working class. Stop voting for both ToryLab.

[PhilipJackson]

Ugh you know your desperate when you bring back AMBER RUDD 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[ChristianIce]

Look closely at Amber Rudd, her political career won't be long enough to remember her.

Mays only got the dreggs of the party left to choose from says a lot doesn't it

Congratulations amber on the shortest come back in history the lights will change to red on monday.

I find this similar to a minor "divorcing" their parents and still trying to keep the car and allowance. Once you cut ties that's it! Stop negotiating and just get it done.

[adampowell]

If they were going to topple May they would have done it by now.

[kelly]

Yeah that's all the ppl need another Remainer. To do the talking for leaving the E.U.

[beanhole]

So we are going for a deal that means we pay all the prices of the EU but get no benefits? Tm needs to quit and let someone who believes in leave to take over because the deal sucks only reason why remain would ever win would now be because how poorly our politics are than the actual fact of staying

[ParticleJesus]

The EU has absolutely zero incentive to do a beneficial deal unless we force a No Deal. They're not there to a deal, they're there to keep us in.

[RBNG]

Seems like a mess. There are no good answers here.

[neilhedley]

The big hitters are running to the hills.Here comes Project Blame

[philrothwell]

Tracker systems on every goods vehicle either side of a invisible border, records of movement of goods and random checks the same as what happens at every airport and docks in the world yes I realise that certain people may abuse the system, I am sure their are a lot brighter people out their that could adopt cctv systems that could monitor movements of goods and people without upsetting the present arrangement

[geesus]

Have we learned nothing from windrush?
